I know people like to have updates about the Eagle and Child (#inklings pub in Oxford) so here's the latest... they've put scaffolding on the outside decorated with an image of the pub (with a really large, not to scale, person for some reason). Presumably part of the renovations EIT said they'd do.

Introduction 🧵Owen Barfield (1898–1997) was one of the twentieth century’s most insightful writers and philosophers. His ideas informed the thinking and writing of influential authors such as C. S. #Lewis and J. R. R. #Tolkien who were fellow members of the #Inklings, an Oxford group of thinkers. /1

Social media platforms as Oxford pubs: • Threads: Lamb & Flag. Always busy but so noisy you can't have a proper conversation. • Bluesky: Royal Oak. Few people but with lots of rooms and nooks and a good buzz. • X: Swan & Castle (Wetherspoons). Makes me feel ill. Owner is a politics twat. /1
